Mako stared at Bill's hand lost in thought. Thousands of different things were going around his head; his past, relationships, friends, promises, and life. All of them were making it so conflicting to choose whether to take Bill's hand or not.
On one hand, he wanted to keep his promises to his grandmother, great-grandfather, Bill, and Sir Derek. He wanted to become strong enough so that he could make an impact on the world and steer it toward a better future. All of this was compelling him to take Bill's hand.
While on the other hand, all of Mako's deepest fears were starting to emerge. He started having visions in his hand of losing his grip and falling to death. His consciousness kept trying to persuade his emotions to not take such a risk.
Memories of the past started filling Mako's brain.
